That “click” captures the light, precise, and consistent shifting bikes equipped with Shimano deliver. It’s the sound of perfect gear changes, of levers directing derailleurs in harmony, and the feeling that resonate into your hand, letting you know that your commands are being answered. Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Free Stroke: The distance from initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.A 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products) Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
